Chapter 747

Therefore, this time Mu Huali changed the battle plan before the fighting began, and once it started, he ordered the foot soldiers to charge forward.

The crossbowmen stayed behind, and upon seeing people, they swarmed in to cut them down directly.

Yuanjunzhe Society was also following Mu Huali's orders at this moment, scrambling up Dengshan under the command of their respective generals.

General Zhebie rode even further ahead, leading the Vanguard Commander to charge up first.

His vanguard army was personally trained by him, mostly composed of people with outstanding archery skills.

Among them were also quite a few experts enshrined by the Great Yuan.

Before they had climbed half a step up Dengshan, a man leading a squad of Xuanxinzheng Sect disciples blocked the path.

That man, as if he were still in the jianghu, was preparing to talk trash for a while.

He did not expect General Zhebie to immediately nock an arrow and shoot it over like a meteor.

Because General Zhebie's archery was divine, and he was extremely loyal to Tie Muzhen.

Therefore, as the second batch of generals selected into the Thirteen Wings, he participated in the Thirteen Wings and successfully obtained the Arrow God's inheritance.

Later, because he made it onto the Heavenly Dao Golden List, he obtained the Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow.

This Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow was originally an archery art of tremendous power.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the Heavenly God Hou Yi used this very archery art to shoot down nine suns and return tranquility to the mortal world.

And this Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow was passed down within Hou Yi's bloodline.

But to bring out the essence of this archery art, one must coordinate it with the Sun-Shooting Bow and Sun-Shooting Arrows.

The bow and arrows in General Zhebie's hands were naturally extremely rare Earth-grade divine weapons of the Great Yuan.

Yet compared to the Sun-Shooting Bow and Sun-Shooting Arrows, the gap was naturally enormous.

Therefore, the power unleashed by this arrow was extremely limited.

Even so, this arrow was not only swift as a meteor.

The arrow shaft kept spiraling, stirring up an immensely vast airflow.

At first it still seemed like an ordinary arrow, but by the time it reached the leader of Xuanxinzheng Sect.

It had already become like a violent gust of wind.

"You have no martial virtue!"

That man never expected this General Zhebie to disregard jianghu rules entirely, not even giving a greeting before striking directly.

Seeing that this arrow's momentum was too great to block, yet it had already arrived before his eyes.

With no choice, he suddenly fished out something like a tortoise shell from behind his back and placed it in front of him.

Then, behind him, an illusory figure of a strange creature resembling both tortoise and snake condensed, and it roared toward the sky.

An invisible, steady force poured directly into this tortoise shell.

Rumble rumble rumble...

The Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow collided with the tortoise shell and illusory figure, producing a heaven-shaking sound.

Taking this arrow head-on, even with the tortoise shell protecting him, that man was still struck and forced back several steps.

After catching his breath slightly, this man prepared to say something more to General Zhebie.

He did not expect that barely had the first arrow passed when General Zhebie, without the slightest hesitation, immediately loosed a second arrow.

This arrow was still the immensely powerful Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow!

"I..."

This man truly felt like cursing.

You barbaric grassland savage not only ignore jianghu rules, you even launch a sneak attack.

A sneak attack would be one thing, but you keep firing cold arrows from afar like this, one after another.

If it were not for your Xuanwu Divine General being here, even if someone else had come in his place.

Even if it were Qinglong here, he would have been caught in a fluster by the suddenness of it.

That's right, this man was precisely the Xuanwu Divine General, one of the Four Divine Generals of Xuanxin.

The tortoise shell in his hand looked inelegant, but in truth it was one of the Heavenly Dao's rewards—the Xuanwu Armor!

Though called armor, in practice it was like a shield.

Combined with the Xuanwu Divine General's Xuanwu Art, it could produce a miraculous effect, blocking the first arrow of the Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow.

The second arrow arrived in an instant, and once again there was an earth-shaking explosion.

This time the Xuanwu Divine General was somewhat better prepared, and moreover the Xuanwu Armor could not be broken by anyone below the late stage of the Supreme Mythical Realm.

Clearly the second arrow was a fraction more powerful than the first.

Yet this time, the Xuanwu Divine General did not retreat even a single step.

"Good, again!"

General Zhebie finally spoke, letting out a great shout, gathering his true essence once more, and loosing a third arrow.

The Great Yuan vanguard army behind him only now reacted.

This was not a jianghu duel, but the Yuan army attacking the mountain.

Most of these people were also Yuan army soldiers.

Seeing General Zhebie fire three arrows in a row, they immediately cast all caution aside, and under the command of their respective officers, they nocked arrows and unleashed a wave of arrow rain.

It was also because this vanguard army was the elite of the elite within Mu Huali's great army.

Every single one of them had channeled their inner force or true qi into their arrows.

A single arrow might be ordinary in power, but this wave of arrow rain, led by General Zhebie's third arrow.

Whether in spectacle or in power, it was impressive!

The Xuanwu Divine General saw this and could not complain at all.

You alone disregard martial ethics, but now a whole crowd does too.

Indeed, steppe barbarians are all dishonorable scoundrels.

These arrows may not harm the Black Tortoise Divine General, but his disciples behind him may not be so lucky.

"Quickly form your battle array and meet the assault—I will bear this wave for you."

The Black Tortoise Divine General sensed his disciples behind him were still clueless, watching like spectators, and immediately gave a sharp command.

Then, the shadow of the Black Tortoise behind him reappeared, resonating with the Black Tortoise Armor.

A much larger shadow of the Black Tortoise rapidly expanded from his body.

When it grew more than ten times its original size, it was no longer merely a shadow—it seemed like a Dharma Body.

The Black Tortoise Dharma Body roared, colliding with General Zhebie's third arrow and the torrent of arrows overhead.

This explosion was even more violent than before.

Clearly, this Black Tortoise Dharma Body incorporated the Dao arts of the Xuanxinzheng Sect.

Thus, even with only the Black Tortoise Divine General's own strength, this Dharma Body held firm against the assault.

"Keep firing! Don't stop!"

Seeing he could not overcome the Black Tortoise Divine General, General Zhebie fired another arrow and ordered the others to fire as well.

No matter how many arrows were shot, the Black Tortoise Divine General, though low-ranked among the Four Divine Generals of the Xuanxinzheng Sect, was ultimately the greatest defender.

If he chose to defend, even the highest-ranked Azure Dragon might not break through his guard.

Here, General Zhebie's elite Vanguard force was halted halfway up the mountain, nearly by the Black Tortoise Divine General alone.

Elsewhere, Yuan army units were likewise blocked by Azure Dragon, Bai Hu, Zhu Que, and others, each leading squads of Xuanxinzheng Sect disciples.

Though the Xuanxinzheng Sect disciples were few, each possessed at least Grandmaster Realm cultivation.

Added to this were their miraculous Dao arts and the leadership of the Divine Generals like Azure Dragon.

For a time, though the Yuan army outnumbered them greatly, they could not break through the halfway defense line after hours of assault.

They could still slay some Xuanxinzheng Sect disciples.

But none of the four core Divine Generals had been defeated.

As the battle raged fiercely, the Long Xiang Seng seized his chance and led several monks from Mingwang Temple.

They bypassed the key passes guarded by the Four Divine Generals, taking only treacherous paths.

Seeing the halfway defense line about to be breached by himself,

he was filled with joy.

He could not help but feel proud—what General Zhebie and other great generals had failed to accomplish, he had succeeded in.
